Gnome tailor of Osterhn

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

The gnome tailor of Osterhn keeps a shop in the Market Quarter of Osterhn in the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign. Young and full of energy, the tailor welcomes customers in a low-ceilinged shop crowded with colourful cloth and clothes, under a sign showing a large yellow G, a ball of yarn and a needle.1

The tailor made Sarah Lia Galanodel a long black dress with yellow embroidery and frills to be ready the same evening, mended Kemp Corvus's clothes without charge, and made plain clothes for Ephorus.2

Taxes and opinions

The guards of Jasper complained that the rich gnome cloth merchant and tailor of the Market Quarter made trouble by not paying taxes. Exalon explained that the tailor paid late or in goods, once handing over some four thousand socks, and that the town's fine clothes were the tailor's work.34

The tailor spoke against slavery and the Empire's slavery law, and learned that the companions presented Ephorus as a slave only to protect him. In the tailor's view, a change of rulers made little difference to ordinary people, and business was not going too badly.5

When the companions left Osterhn, the tailor let them have fine travelling clothes cheaply, almost as a parting gift.9
